Where are the Republicans with integrity and principles? How can Republican Party loyalists have allowed their party to be hijacked by someone with no relevant experience; questionable morals; a long history of self-dealing and deception; disregard for the welfare of the American people, democratic values and the health of the planet; and an utter lack of intellectual curiosity? I can only imagine how outraged Republican lawmakers would be if any of the unsavory activities engaged in by President Trump were alleged to be done by a Democratic president. Evenhandedness and principled deliberation have gone missing from our political dialogue: it is a shame.

If the circumstances of Hunter Biden’s highly compensated board position at Burisma Holdings seem a little fishy and warrant investigation, so, too should the circumstances of the Trump adult children and Trump’s continued ability to profit from his many business holdings.
